Stand wobble on laminate flooring...what's normal

Disappointing that you have to spend more money to fix a stand from a premium Tank Manufacturer. Alufab estimate is going to be $$$$.

It's totally worth the money. It's expensive yeah, but the stand is a lifetime part.
The salt just wipes right off the anodizing and it's a super clean, modern look.

Plus, you could literally hang another platform off the side of it for a frag tank or whatever at a later date.
You can literally attach anything to it.

Don't get me wrong, the AluFab stands are more than likely several levels above the factory stands in strength and rigidity. I just don't like the fact that I've got a brand-new stand sitting in the corner collecting dust.

I totally get it. Just don't look at it.

Put a piece of butcher block on it and make a frag bench!

I just bought a waterbox marine x 90.3 and have this exact issue. Garbage company, garbage product. I called for a reinforcement kit, which the fact they have one and it is not a part of the stand is absurd to me. Took three weeks for them to tell me "they lost" the last reinforcement kit they had with no ETA on when they will get more. F waterbox. I will never purchase another product from them.

I’ve had nothing but a great experience with waterbox, and wouldn’t hesitate to buy my next tank from them.

Are they charging you guys for the reinforcement kit? Ive called them twice for some minor things with my custom tank, and both times they sent me what I needed at no cost. One was a mistake on my installers part where he cross threaded a pipe and the other issue was with a check valve that started making a noise due to needing to be cleaned, so neither was their fault, but they sent me the parts free of charge, no questions asked. So I definitely would disagree with the garbage company comment.

Sounds like if they have a new stand, there may be a fault with the design that likely will be fixed with their manufacturers or via the reinforcement kit.

What does the frame look like?is it some form of 80/20 aluminum? If so you can buy some corner kit brackets off Amazon and have them in a day or two if you can’t wait for waterbox to ship you their kit.
